In your docs you say:
The <%perl> tag, like all block tags in Mason, is case-insensitive. It
may appear anywhere in the text, and may span any number of lines.
<%perl> blocks cannot be nested inside one another.
This is confusing because obviously if you are in a block that is
supposed to be multi-lined inline perl, there is no syntax in perl that
equates to a <%perl> tag. So if you are in a <%perl> you can only do
perl. However what you really mean that you can't nest perl tags into
other types of mason inline blocks. For example, the following is not
allowed:
<% $expression
<%perl>
some perl code
</%perl>
%> <!- this will NOT make an inline expression multi-line.. -->
% if ($somecondition eq 'true') {
<%perl>
# set up some stuff here
</%perl>
This is the <% $result %>
% } # the <%perl> tag will throw a Lexer error. The inline <% %> tag
should not. For the <%perl> tag, use a <%method> or <%def> tag and call
it using a subcomp <& &> tag or piped subcomp <&| &> </&> tag.
